Concept of Consumer Electronics

Consumer Electronic Products (CE) refers to products that are not essential for daily life, but are only used to meet entertainment or other needs.

Consumer electronics products have different connotations in countries with different levels of development, and have different connotations in different stages of development within the same country.

Consumer electronic products in China refer to audio and video products related to broadcasting and television used for personal and household purposes, mainly including televisions, DVD players (VCD, SVCD, DVD), video recorders, camcorders, radios, cassette recorders, combination speakers, record players, CD players, etc. In some developed countries, telephones, personal computers, home office equipment, home electronic healthcare devices, automotive electronic products, etc. are also classified as consumer electronics products. With the development of technology and the emergence of new products and applications, digital cameras, mobile phones, PDAs and other products are also becoming emerging consumer electronics products.

Since the late 1990s, information appliances that integrate the three major fields of computers, information and communication, and consumer electronics have become widely integrated into home life. They have functions such as audio-visual, information processing, and bidirectional network communication, and are composed of embedded processors, related supporting hardware (such as display cards, storage media, IC card or credit card reading devices), embedded operating systems, and software packages at the application layer. In a broad sense, information appliances include all household appliances that can interact with information through network systems, such as PCs, set-top boxes, HPC, DVDs, super VCDs, wireless data communication devices, video game devices, WEBTV, etc. At present, audio, video, and communication devices are the main components of information appliances. In the long run, refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, and other devices will also develop into information appliances and form a part of smart home appliances.

Faced with multi-channel and multi form information, people have increasingly high requirements for the integration, application, and timely adjustment of information. Consumer electronics will undoubtedly subtly change people's lives. At present, the consumer electronics industry continues to grow every year, involving an increasing number of product fields and industries. A variety of new consumer electronics products are showcasing the new concept of "digital life" to consumers from various perspectives, bringing a refreshing and comprehensive enjoyment to individuals.
